Tecnifibre Black Code


Tecnifibre Black Code
Gauge: 16(1.28), 17(1.24), 18(1.18)
Price: $12/set
Type: Co-polyester mono-fiber
Color: Black

Black Code is the newest polyester string available from Tencifibre. This polyester has a pentegonal profile for added spin production. Like any other profiled string, the pentagonal profile does go away after a few hitting sessions. The string has a good blend of power, control, and spin. Not much feel can be achieved from this string but it has good durability and the tension maintenance is above average for a polyester. For the performance of the string, $12/pack is just about right.
